Tim was an active supporter of our Keystone Region Vintage Chevrolet Club of American car club and provided many hours of service. We were proud to make Tim an Honorary Member recently. He was a genuine good soul and will be sorely missed.

Tim loved the American Legion and participated in all of their fundraisers. He was always ready to help anyone who needed him. Tim enjoyed sharing his recipes (many of them he said he learned from his mom) and usually ended the recipe talk with “and put in Lipton onion soup mix.” He had his challenges throughout his life but he still smiled and tried to make others smile as well. There are so many who will miss him.

Tim loved the American Legion and would spend so much time and effort trying to help their cause. He showed up with a smile each friday night at the Lancaster American Legion and would chat with the members and regulars.

Tim loved God and I truly believe he is with Him now.

God bless you Tim and please know you will be missed by so many here on earth.
